Ways to Give

Many clubs make donations to The Rotary Foundation, as do many individual Rotarians


Donating to The Rotary Foundation

Our financial building block is the “Every Rotarian Every Year” campaign which, for our Annual Fund, provides individual Rotarians with the exclusive opportunity to donate at least $100 annually (or equivalent) to sustain their Foundation and be recognised as Sustaining Members.

Becoming a Sustaining Member is the first step on the ladder to supporting your charity by donating directly to any of the following funds via The Rotary Foundation of the United Kingdom (RFUK).

Leaving a legacy

Rotary’s tomorrow depends on what you do today. By remembering The Rotary Foundation in your Will, you will help to ensure that the work of the Foundation will continue beyond your lifetime.

As part of any bequest, you can specify which of Rotary’s causes you would like to support through your gift to The Rotary Foundation UK. Alternatively, it can be left to World Fund and used where the need is greatest.
